LAN Topologies IT/240 May 26‚2013 LAN Topologies Case Project I The changes in equipment that would be required to bring Old-Tech Corporation up to date and solve the shared bandwidth problem would be to change their network scheme. To go from a Star topology to and extended star topology‚ which their logical topology would be a ring. We would have to buy five wireless nic-cards to start to accommodate the cabling issue in the warehouse as well as a wireless access point and a wireless

LAN Topologies Archie Ben IT/240 Justin Davison Aug 28‚ 2011 11. Your network consists of four servers. Each server has three NICs. Server A is connected to servers B‚ C‚ and D. Server B is attached to C and D. Server C is attached to server D. No hub is used. All cabling is CAT 3 UTP crossover cables. What is your physical topology? a. Star b. Bus c. Ring d. Mesh Answer: This would be an example of a modified “mesh” topology. No hub is used‚ just crossover cables and multiple Nic cards

Server B is attached to C and D. Server C is attached to server D. No hub is used. All cabling is CAT 3 UTP crossover cables. What is your physical topology? a. Star b. Bus c. Ring d. Mesh I believe this to be a mesh mainly because all the servers are connected to one another. There is no hub used and Cat 3 UTP would be the cable for use in a small topology such as this. Also‚ the Cat 3 UTP cable is used in 80% of all LANs. Concerning the network interface cards (NIC)‚ this allows the server to communicate

Network Topology and Wiring Tiearia Fariss NTC/361 Professor: Larry Schreider December Network Topologies are the different arrangements that contain many different element such as links‚ nodes‚ etc. This helps with communication and network information processing. This is a major part of today’s technology and is used by big business as well as for home and personal use. There have been eight different network topologies that have been recognized though out a study.. Throughout this paper

Hierarchical Star Many home networks use the star topology. A star network features a central connection point called a "hub" that may be a hub‚ switch or router. Devices usually connect to the hub with Unshielded Twisted Pair Strengths Easy to Install‚ Flexible IF single device or cable failure will not bring down the network Weakness If the centralize device fails the entire system is affected Bus Bus is the simplest network topology. All computers are connected to a single cable that

What is Mesh Topology? In a mesh network topology‚ each of the network node‚ computer and other devices‚ are interconnected with one another. Every node not only sends its own signals but also relays data from other nodes. In fact a true mesh topology is the one where every node is connected to every other node in the network. This type of topology is very expensive as there are many redundant connections‚ thus it is not mostly used in computer networks. It is commonly used in wireless networks

3.1.3 Computer Network Topologies Network Topology is a network specification that determines the network arrangement‚ connecting the senders and receivers through lines of connection. Topologies are of both physical and logical aspect of the network. The physical topology describes the network’s physical wiring layout or shape. The logical topology describes the path through which the data moves. Both logical and physical topologies could be same or different in a same network. The physical and

What Topology works best for the factory floor‚ given its need for constant reconfiguration? 6. What kind of connection must you use to link the Allegheny Street and Mongahela locations? Answer: The availability of wiring closets for the office workstations indicates that a physical star topology will work (and indeed‚ these topologies are the most commonly used in that kind of

Local Area Network (LAN) Topologies After recognizing the strengths and weaknesses of each type of network topology‚ I have chosen to use the star model for the topology in each of the offices for the company. This topology will allow the networks to effectively connect all the equipment that each office will need. The office employees will be able to connect to their fax
